Gu Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He took another big gulp of tea, and his stomach growled a few times. Then, there were a few more growls. It was the two children's. Zhou Xiaobao had been in a mess this morning, and the three of them had not eaten breakfast.
However, the two children were very sensible. They did not complain when they were hungry and only drank tea. The more they drank, the hungrier they became, and the growling continued.
Gu Ye secretly glanced at Chu Qiao from the corner of his eye. After a while, he quietly shifted his gaze away and looked over again. He was as awkward as a young teenager, but his heart was very sweet. He was especially proud because only he knew... under this rustic and ugly outfit, she was a beautiful little fairy, and also his future wife.
That's right, he was going to marry this little fairy called Chu Qiao. She was a soulmate that God had tailor-made for him. It was not easy for him to meet her. Even if he had to go through a thousand difficulties, he had to marry her.
Chu Qiao did not know what this guy was thinking. She had completed her mission today, and if nothing unexpected happened, Gu Jianshe would definitely have a very bad impression of her. In this life, she would never marry Gu Jianshe again.
"Coo Coo"
A sound came by her ear. Chu Qiao turned his head and saw the two children clutching their stomachs tightly. They were obviously hungry. Seeing that she was looking over, the two children quickly shifted their eyes and stopped staring at the pastries.
Chu Qiao smiled. These two children were quite sensible since they were young. They were much better than Gu Jianshe's two little beasts. Indeed, they had matured very early. On the other hand, those two little beasts had been overbearing and unruly since they were young. They were selfish and self-serving. They were bad from the root. How could they be straight?
Gu Ye drank the tea mechanically. He couldn't taste the tea. His eyes stared at the teacup with a blank expression. His body was stiff and straight, but his mind was wondering if the little fairy was looking at him?
Why wasn't he wearing that new shirt?
Gu Ye was extremely vexed. He had rushed out in a hurry this morning and casually put on a blue and white striped shirt. It was the same shirt he wore when he was in Team B. There were several holes, and he usually did not wear it out. He wore it as a nightgown.
But today, he wore this damn ragged shirt out of the house. Gu Ye looked down and was even more vexed. The camouflage pants were also ragged, and he even wore a pair of slippers. He did not care about his appearance from head to toe. Would the fairy think that he was too sloppy?
Gu Ye wanted to explain that he was not usually like this, but he did not know how to say it. He and the fairy had only met once, and the fairy did not even know his name.
The flustered Gu Ye was vexed with no expression on his face. His mind was a mess, but he heard a heavenly voice, "Is the child okay?"
"Clang!"
Gu Ye was so excited that he almost flipped the table over. The cup in his hand shook, and the tea splashed on his pants, which was the window of society. Fortunately, the tea was not hot, or else he would have become a eunuch.
The Zhou brothers covered their faces and lowered their heads. They could not bear to look at Uncle Gu anymore. Uncle Gu was too embarrassing. Such an old man was not steady at all. Sigh!
Chu Qiao's eyes were filled with laughter. Boss Gu was actually so naive when he was young. It was too interesting.
She had already tucked her bangs up. It was too uncomfortable to cover her eyes with the bangs. She did not know how she had managed to wear those thick bangs for the past few years. She was really naive.
"It's... It's fine. He'll be fine after taking the medicine in the hospital."
Gu Ye quickly replied. He did not dare to look around. He was still holding the teacup tightly in his hand. He placed it on the table unknowingly. His body was tensed up like an 18-year-old hothead.
"It's good that he's fine. Children have weak intestines. You have to eat fresh food in the summer. Don't eat something that was left overnight," Chu Qiao could not help but say.
Gu Ye could not even take care of himself. These two children had only been in his care for three to four months, and Xu Bilian could not even be counted on. One could imagine what kind of life Gu Ye and the two children had led during these few months. It would definitely be a chaotic mess.
"I'll be careful in the future."
Gu Ye listened attentively. He even dared to look at the girl. When he saw Chu Qiao clip her hair and reveal her beautiful little face, he was so happy that his heart was about to fly.
The little fairy covered her face when she met Gu Jianshe and clipped her hair when she talked to him. He really liked this difference in treatment. He was so happy.
Gu Ye, who was in high spirits, still had a serious expression on his face. Both of his hands were still tightly clutching the teacup, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. Chu Qiao was very worried that this poor teacup would not be able to withstand this guy's Eagle Claw technique. However, seeing Gu Ye's nervous and inexperienced look, she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart.
Chu Qiao was very clear that Gu Ye was so nervous because of her. Perhaps this was the ideal match of a gentleman with a graceful and elegant lady?
In her previous life, she had never experienced the feeling of being pursued by the opposite sex. Before she married Gu Jianshe, she wore thick bangs and rustic clothes. No one was pursuing her at all. She only went on one blind date with Gu Jianshe and got married, they didn't even have a wedding drink.
Chu Qiao felt that she and Gu Jianshe didn't look like they were getting married. Instead, they looked like they were getting a license to work. She was going to be a free nanny. After being a nanny for 21 years, she was finally laid off without much honor.
Although she did not want to get married in this life, she also wanted to experience the taste of love. When she earned money and became independent, she would dress up properly. There should be men chasing after her, right?
"Comrade Chu Qiao, my name is Gu Ye. That Gu Jianshe just now was my disappointing nephew."
Gu Ye's voice interrupted Chu Qiao's memories. She looked at Gu Ye, who was still feeling uneasy. Seeing that he was still holding the teacup in his hand, she could not help but smile. Gu Ye's face turned red, but his heart was filled with sweetness. The little fairy smiled at him... the little fairy must have a good impression of him.
Chu Qiao pretended to be surprised. "Are you uncle and nephew? Are you close?"
"Close."
Gu Ye felt his heart go numb. The little fairy's voice was so pleasant to hear. It was soft and squishy, just like glutinous rice cake. He loved glutinous rice cake the most. He did not expect that he would meet his destined wife in this life. He had thought that he would never be able to marry her in this life.
Xiaobao's tummy behaved really well. It was neither too early nor too late. It was just right.
"Your seniority is really high."
Chu Qiao sighed and teased, "My name is Chu Qiao. I'm here today to go on a blind date with your eldest nephew. However, it's gone. We can't be relatives anymore."
Although she hated Gu Jianshe, she did not reject making friends with Gu Ye. This man was very decent and responsible. He would have great prospects in the future. Moreover, in her previous life, he was the only person who helped her. It could be said that, in this life, Gu Ye was the first person she could trust.
She did not trust anyone else, including her biological father, Chu Yuanzhi.
Gu Ye grinned and blurted out, "It's good that it's ruined."
Chu Qiao pursed her lips and smiled. She was not surprised. These two people were sworn enemies, and Gu Ye would definitely not say good things about Gu Jianshe.
"I'm going home. Goodbye."
Chu Qiao smiled again and left. Seeing the table full of snacks, her heart moved, and she said, "I haven't eaten these snacks before. If you and the children don't mind, help me eat them, okay?"
"I don't mind."
Gu Ye received the desserts very quickly. How could he possibly mind? Even if the little fairy gave him mud, he wouldn't frown and eat it. Moreover, he loved to eat sweets to begin with, and the Gu family didn't even know about this secret. The tall, strong, and masculine Gu Ye loved sweets the most, especially soft and sticky desserts.
